What Could Be The Reason For Traces Of Blood In Urine ?
I am a bus driver and have had three physicals in three weeks for certification. All required a urine test for drug screening. On the third physical, they said that I had a trace of blood in my urine. The other two physicals previously showed no symptoms. What could cause this, is this cause for concern and how soon should I get rechecked? My last physical was two weeks ago.
